McNabb had a very strong defense backing him, which is not the case with Mahomes. Check out these seasons:
2000 - Eagles were 4th in Scoring Defense
2001 - Eagles were 2nd in Scoring Defense
2002 - Eagles were 2nd in Scoring Defense
2003 - Eagles were 7th in Scoring Defense
2004 - Eagles were 3rd in Scoring Defense
Meanwhile Joe Burrow's defense shut down Josh Allen for 10 points. Bengals are giving up 18 points per game in the Playoffs the last 2 seasons while Mahomes' defense gives up 25 points per game in the Playoffs for his career.
Cincy's playoff defense allowing 18 ppg is similar to the #1 or #2 scoring defenses in the regular season for 2021 and 2022 seasons. In a battle of great QB's, it comes down to the defense on each side. And maybe special teams. Butker missed a field goal in the most recent 3 point loss. Every little thing counts.
